# How to Embed a Video to a Pathway Text Step


# How to Embed a Video to a Pathway Text Step

**In this article:**
* Overview
* Embed a video
* Supported video sources
* Things to keep in mind
* FAQs
* Who can do this

## Overview
A Text step's rich-text editor lets you add a video directly into the Step, so learners can watch it without leaving SuperPath. You can either paste a link to a video hosted elsewhere or upload a video file of your own.

## Embed a video
1. Add or open a **Text** step in your Pathway, then click into the editor.
2. In the editor toolbar, click **Insert** and choose **Video**. (On narrower screens the Video option lives under the **More** menu.)

3. In the **Add Video** dialog, choose **Video URL** to paste a link, or **Upload video** to upload a file from your device.
4. Add your video, then click **Upload video** to insert it. Your video now appears in the Text step.

## Supported video sources
When adding a video by link, SuperPath currently supports videos from **YouTube**, **Loom**, **Vimeo**, **Synthesia** and **Wistia**. If you upload a file instead, common video formats such as MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI and MKV are supported.

> **Note:** To embed interactive (iFrame) content such as a quiz or booking widget rather than a video, use the **iFrame** option instead — see *How to Add an Interactive Element to a Pathway Text Step*.

## Things to keep in mind
* Only videos from the supported sources above will embed from a link; links from other providers may not display correctly.
* Editing a Text step returns a published Pathway to a draft (unpublished) state, so publish it again once you're done.

## FAQs
**Which video sites can I link to?**
YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Synthesia and Wistia are currently supported.

**Can I upload my own video file?**
Yes. Choose **Upload video** in the Add Video dialog to upload a file rather than link to one.

**What's the difference between adding a Video and an iFrame?**
Use **Video** for a hosted or uploaded video; use **iFrame** to embed interactive content such as a Genially, Synthesia, JotForm or Calendly widget.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can edit a Text step and embed a video. **People Managers**, **Employees**, **Members**, **Volunteers** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot.
